Introduction

This is what we'll create in this episode: a chapter opener for a book with a large chapter number, a drop cap, and text that flows neatly to the next page. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe InDesign series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. A book is read for a long time, so reading comfort is everything. Chapter opening pages provide a visual break before the reader enters the main content. Create an A5 document with facing pages, larger margin, and 3 mm bleed.

Step 1: A5 Book Document

The print page already contains automatic page numbers in the outer margin.

Step 2: Numbering and Chapter Title

On the chapter opening page, leave a white space about one-third of the page at the top. Type the chapter number 01 in very large orange letters, then the chapter title below it.

Step 3: Text Frame and Threading

Create a text frame below the title and content with text. The text doesn't fit, so an overset indicator appears. Click outside the frame and click on the next page to create a chained frame.

Step 4: Drop Cap

Click on the first paragraph and set the drop cap to 3 lines in the paragraph panel. The first letter enlarges and drops 3 lines, a classic beginning of a chapter marker.

Step 5: Viewing Text Flow

Enable view, extras, show text threads. The blue line shows the text flow from page to page. As the text is edited, it will automatically flow along the chain. Export PDF as spread to view left and right page pairs as if the book is opened.

Done!

Done. We have already created the book document, chapter numbers and titles, text frame chains, drop caps, viewed the text flow, and exported the PDF spread. In the next episode, we create a newsletter. Need a layout design for a magazine, book, brochure, product catalog, company profile, or annual report?
